PAGE SIX THE GAZETTE-TIMES, KF.PPXEB, OREGON, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1818. 1 ' , . Right Now is the Greatest Time in History to Build Not since the Civil War have the prices of farm products been so high wheat, com, alfalfa, rye, bar' ley, oats, hogs, cattle, sheep, have doubled in price, and in some cases trebled. It's time to make permanent improvements. A new house or barn at Half Price! 1 wjmi)Miiji-'aBiaww ,1 pi -Tit Jam- gpmrM-ira-i.'ir-TarjiJiiiirf, 11 i i.ii.j It took 710 bushels of wheat to boy this home In 1914. It takes 400 bushels wheat to buy it in 1918. Crop from 18 acres would buy this home in 1914. Crop from 10 acres will buy it in 1918. . . 130 doen eggs in 1914 would buy this garage 80 dozen eggs in 1918 will buy this garage. . . rr , ST' " I j S tat Aim f ftrrtiriiij riotK LA ft It took 40 hogs to buy this bungalow in 1914. It takes 24 bogs to buy this bungalow in 1918. High Priced Crops Low Priced Lumber The average rise in prices of building materials has am- , ounted to about 30 per cent. The rise in prices of farm and many manufactured products has amounted to from 100 to 300 per cent. -Think of it! With the same quantity of wheat, corn, oats, alfalfa, hogs, etc. as before the war, you can build two houses, two barns, two chicken sheds, two anything Your farm products will buy twice as much honest, ser viceable, workable "Tum-a-Lum Lumber" as they would three years ago wouldn't it be the part of wisdom to build or remodel NOW whatever may be need ed. A new house, a barn, a garage, a grain bin, a corn crib, an implement shed, a hog house, a Tum-A-Lum $ilo, a chicken house? The best investment one can make is in better buildings means more and greater profits. Prices Will Not Drop for Years unless there is a general panic and you would be the last to want them to drop! But the chances are building ma terials will rise. Reconstruction, higher costs resuming industries forced out by war will do it. More Building Now Per Dollar Why Wait ? These are prosperous times BILLIONS being spent with greater times coming. Buildings needed now will produce a rental proportionate to their cost.
